Ladd McConkey Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Ladd McConkey was technically active against Houston in Week 9, but he did not enter the game after back spasms began during warmups. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said McConkey continued trying to get ready but could not move well enough to play. The distinction between active and available matters: McConkey's roster status did not produce even one route or catch. The Chargers lost 24-17, leaving their already inconsistent passing attack without one of its usual slot options.

McConkey has 17 receptions for 286 yards and one touchdown in six appearances. PFM ranks him WR44 for Week 10 at Baltimore on Monday night and WR18 rest of season. Harbaugh described him as day-to-day on Monday, so there is a realistic possibility his availability changes during the extended preparation week. Until he participates normally and the team confirms a game-ready role, the rest-of-season ranking has little bearing on this particular matchup. His health determines whether he can contribute at all.
